=========================================================
ENABLE/DISABLE BOOTP
BOOTP is the IP bootstrap protocol. BOOTP may be used
to obtain the module’s IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.When BOOTP is enabled and the module is not configured
with an IP address, the module will send out BOOTP requests
until it receives a response or is manually configured with an
IP address. When BOOTP is disabled, no BOOTP requests will be
sent.
The BOOTP server must be properly configured to return the
address information.
